Abstract: ABSTRACT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LEGAL ISSUE CLASSIFICATION AND PERSONALIZED ADVOCATE RECOMMENDATION The present invention relates to a computer-implemented system and method for legal issue classification and personalized advocate recommendation. A user submits a legal concern in natural language through a user interface. The submitted query is preprocessed and transformed into numerical features using a text vectorization module. A trained machine learning classifier predicts the corresponding legal domain from predefined categories. Based on the predicted legal category and user-selected parameters including city, consultation mode, and budget range, an advocate recommendation engine filters and ranks advocates from a structured database. The ranked recommendations are displayed through a web-based interface. The invention enables users with limited legal knowledge to identify the nature of their legal issues and obtain suitable advocate recommendations efficiently, thereby improving accessibility to legal assistance and decision-making.
